Priority One Vitamins Zinc Orotate 100 Vegetarian Capsules – Highly absorbable, bioavailable Form of zinc – Support for a Healthy Immune System.*

The negative reviews are ignorant to the facts that all zinc supplements aren't just 100% elemental zinc and have varying percentages of actual zinc because they're all made to be absorbed by our bodies in a way that elemental pure zinc cannot. Zinc orotate is actually around 15% actual zinc that can be absorbed by our bodies. The manufacturer should probably elaborate or make clear exactly what the percentage is.

Great supplement thats in the best form to be absorbed.

Arrived rapidly. I got this because it was vegetarian and the best form of zinc reportedly.

Good source for zinc! Difficult to get resupplied! Expensive! Other alternatives are available!

We have taken these for days only to find oit that they have a Expiration Date that has already happened.

I'm loving the effects of this highly bio-available form of Zinc!

Nowhere in the listing for this Zinc Orotate does it indicate the amount of zinc included in each capsule. I bought it anyway, thinking it the amount would be something reasonable/normal. Well, each capsule has 51mg of zinc. The upper-limit of zinc per day for adults is 40mg! Anything beyond that is too much, can be quite harmful. According to the National Institutes of Health, signs of too much zinc include "nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and headaches. When people take too much zinc for a long time, they sometimes have problems such as low copper levels, lower immunity, and low levels of HDL cholesterol." I would therefore NOT recommend taking this Priority One Vitamins Zinc Orotate. I began experiencing low immunity, headaches, and stomach cramps after taking this, until I looked at the label and realized I was 25% above the daily limit for zinc.

Women need 30 mg/day. These have 51 mg. Nothing more needs to be said.
